Lineage Cell Therapeutics reported second quarter 2026 financial results, posting net income of $1.5 million ($0.01 basic EPS), a significant turnaround from the $30.5 million loss in the prior year period driven by non-cash warrant liability remeasurement gains and the absence of a previous impairment charge.
